welcome once again. the united nations' nuclear watchdog has passed a resolution censuring iran. the resolution has stopped short of reporting the company to the un security council. >> suspicions about the nuclear work of iran are increasing. a recent report by the un nuclear agency iaea said iran has carried out tests relative to the development of a nuclear device. the agency wants tirane to clear up its questions without the lead. its board of governors has passed a revolution -- a resolution which expressed increasing concern. iran says the move is illegal and unfair. it has accused the iaea of political bias. it said it is tv -- is even more

determined to continue its nuclear work, which it says is purely peaceful. >> we do not want a single gram of uranium to be diverted to nuclear material. they are going for the shameful history of what happened in iraq. accusations which are not true. >> the united states has welcomed the investigation. >> this resolution takes us further. it will give us the tools to get the job done and importantly, give the agency the tools to get the job done. >> and the iaea wants to send a high-level mission to iran to address fears. that could be in some doubt. this is a rebuke for iran. it does not go that far. the united states and its allies wanted tougher action. russia and china were opposed. iran says it will push ahead

with its nuclear work and this long, drawn out battle shows no sign of resolution. >> let's go straight to washington. the director for research at the washington institute of near east policy. thank you for your time. these suspicions have existed for a few years now. what is different this time that the iaea has rebuked? >> they have accumulated a lot more evidence that there are disturbing military dimensions to the activity of iran. it is saying, please explain to us what you're doing here. not definitive evidence, but the things that need to be explored further. >> is it not easy to monitor something like that? we just heard the iran

ambassador sang no uranium has been moved -- saying no uranium has been moved. >> the iaea presented a long list of disturbing activities, such as doing tests with explosives that have no clear civilian purposes. please explain to us what is going on. give us access to the scientists involved. show as the documents. if you have made some mistakes in the past, admit and we can move on. >> what can the international community do if it is not satisfied with their explanation? >> and what the concern -- what the security council has called for is a series of tough restrictions on dual use items until iran crews that its nuclear program is purely peaceful. next week, we will see united states, the european union, announcing a series of further steps in line with what the un called for countries to

exercise caution about, saying we have to be particularly cautious after this iaea resolution. >> to you think sanctions could be imposed given that russia and china do have trade interests with iran? >> russia seems to be interested in stopping their nuclear progress. they are feeling at the moment that although the west cheated on the resolution of libya, they are leery to any new security council resolutions. the existing resolutions call for countries to exercise caution in a variety of areas. that provides an opportunity for countries that are particularly concerned to take further steps, tightening further the restrictions on iran. >> i want to get your take on this issue. it seems from the outsiders that

there are some countries trying to illegally stopped their nuclear program. of course, you know that nuclear scientists in iran have been killed in recent years. he ran has blamed the iaea for making their names public and blaming the iaea for putting those people at risk. they haven't been effectively assassinated. >> the gentle man who died the other day who had been in charge of the missile program for 28 years, there was never any mention of him by any iaea reports. they had no access to him. he was a low profile person who was hiding in plain sight. still, we know perfectly well that it was almost certainly the israelis who found a way to get to them. he is no longer with us. >> thank you very much for joining us. tens of thousands of egyptians have been holding rallies in

cairo and alexandria to protest what they think is an attempt to cling to power. the largest demonstration was held in tahrir square. the symbolic heart of the uprising that toppled the ex- president in february. >> protesters are back in tahrir square, the symbolic heart of their resolution. -- of their revolution. now they are worried that the military who replaced him do not want to hand power to the people. this is where ordinary egyptians risked their lives to get rid of hosni mubarak earlier this year. growing frustration that things are not changing for the good. lives are not getting better. and anyway, the old system is still in power. today's demonstration was a show of strength of the muslim brotherhood. many egyptians sheer -- many

egyptians share their fears. >> no democracy, no money, no life, no freedom. >> is a long road to democracy. parliamentary elections begin november 28. they lost more than three months. early next year, work starts on drafting a new constitution. presidential elections may not happen until 2013. >> happy birthday to you. >> they are holding a birthday party for an activist who has been held in prison for nearly three weeks for criticizing the military. among those campaigning for his release is his aunt, an author. >> we feel that the military, having stepped up, they would oversee peaceful change and a

transition to democracy. they have not been doing everything they can -- they have been doing everything they can to impede the progress of the resolution -- of the revolution. >> syrian security forces are reported to have killed at least six people in protests. the latest violence came as official sources in damascus said syria, in principle, has agreed to let an arab league mission into the country. >> thousands of anti-government protesters are reported to have taken to the streets of syrian cities again today following friday prayers. it is not possible to independently verify these pictures, but they seem to show yet another violent response from the security forces carried.

at least 10 protesters killed. now the arab league faces a dilemma. it has given the syrian government until saturday night to stop the violence and accept an observer mission into the country. syria has indicated it may accept the mission, but under different terms. while the diplomats decide what to do, on the ground, more evidence has emerged the country is sliding into civil war. this is the latest video, showing a rocket attack on the military group. soldiers running for cover under heavy fire from a growing opposition guerrilla force, which is claiming responsibility for a series of recent attacks on government troops. experts say the force, made up

of soldiers who have deserted, is nowhere near capable of toppling the regime. at the moment, defections have been from largely foot soldiers. what they need is what happened in libya, whole battalions splitting the army down the middle. that does not like it will happen so far -- that does not look like it will happen so far. the international community will play a critical role. these are protesters in jordan calling on arab protesters to intervene if the syrian government does not halt the bloodshed. for now, it has seemed more serious sanctions are the only threat on the table. >> in australia, a 35-year-old nurse has been charged with multiple counts of murder after a fire at a nursing home. five elderly people died and 14

were critically injured. our correspondent has been explaining how the fire could have affected many more people. >> had emergency services not arrived with an six minutes, it could have been a worst tragedy to. what we are dealing with is a home full of elderly people. and many of those people had dementia. fire services are saying that it was an appalling situation to ride to. a chaotic situation. their crews had to get on their hands and knees to try and rescue these people. many of them did survived. there were brought out in their beds, covered in soot and other things. you can imagine what kind of scale the fire was. one of the worst in living memory. what they are saying is that the home did not have a sprinkler system, but it was not required

to under city law. all it had was smoke detection systems and that is why they were able to get there so quickly. >> still to come, the dalai lama has concerns about tibetan monks setting fire to themselves. leading climate scientists have warned the government has to -- governments have to implement policies to deal with dangerous weather. >> the italian city of genoa was engulfed by mudslides a few days ago. drought has caused starvation and misery in east africa for months. all of this is extreme right -- extreme weather, like the torrential rain that start brazil last january. will we get more of this as the climate warms up? today, the united nations climate panel tried to answer

that, releasing a new report. >> it is virtually certain that increases in warm temperature extremes and decreases in cold extremes will occur in the 21st century on a global scale. >> the panel says he waves are very likely to strike more often. very likely means a more than 90% chance of being right. heavy rain is likely to pour more frequently in many regions. more than a 66% chance of being correct. for hurricanes, it is likely there will not be an increase. there may even be fewer of them. this again has a 66% chance of accuracy. they are being cautious. some scientists think whether events can never be linked to warming. >> i do not think it is possible to isolate individual events and say that this is caused by emissions of greenhouse gases

coming out of the chimney stacks. >> flooding in queensland earlier this year. scientists say it will be harder to pick out the fact on the weather. but the war it gets, the harder it will be to predict. >> this is bbc news. these are the headlines. the united nations' nuclear watchdog agency has passed a resolution censuring yvonne as it fears it is seeking to develop an atomic bomb. thousands of egyptians have been protesting what they see as an attempt to the country's military authorities to latch on to power. the dollar lama is worried about the potential backlash from china over the growing number of monks and nuns who have been setting fire to themselves.

they have been taking shocking actions to protect against chinese oppression. there have been 11 cases this year. the latest was two weeks ago. we have this exclusive report from northern india. some of the images are extremely disturbing. >> from inside his robe, a young monk takes a photo of his boyhood friend. a friend who took his own life by setting himself on fire. the month has not fled to india. we cannot reveal his identity. >> i was shocked at first, but then i was proud of him for standing up against the chinese. >> is a new, extreme tactic in the tibetan campaign against 60 years of oppressive chinese rule. suicidal by fire. monks in this city do not know what to do. there was another in malaysia

two weeks ago. we have obtained the footage, but it is too shocking to broadcast. hankering for answers and sanctuary, the tibetan monks have fled to india and their spiritual leader, the dalai lama. >> be patient and do not given up. he is encouraging his followers not to sacrifice themselves. >> they have a very strong courage. but how much effect does courage alone have? it is not sufficient. >> you fear it could make things worse? >> many tibetans sacrifice their lives. nobody knows how many people were killed through torture. nobody knows.

but many people suffer. >> this indian mountain town has become a little tibet. 15 years since the dalai lama fled here. little chance of returning home with china's grip on tibet as tight as ever. it has condemned the immolation campaign. nuns setting themselves on fire is a sign of increasing desperation, they say. with china, it talks with a much quieter voice. that leaves tibetans with few options. from inside tibet, more monks are preparing to make the ultimate sacrifice and set themselves ablaze.

>> the american president has held a surprise meeting with the chinese premier on the indonesian island of bali. they are both attending the east asian summit to discuss difficult issues affecting the region. the meeting followed weeks of sharp exchanges between officials in the united states and china over questions of finance and trade. we are joined from bali where the summit is taking place. any indication of what the leaders spoke of? >> i am afraid not. it was a closed door meeting as these things usually are. the feeling is that issues about china's currency, which the u.s. feels is grossly undervalued, playing by these rules that everybody else follows, another thing the united states has said about china's reluctance to do so, may well have come off. and the issue of maritime

security. observers are saying that has -- that is very likely to have come up. it is a huge area because it involves a vital shipping line and a very large sources of oil and gas. china says they have claim to all of it. some southeast asian nations like claim to part of it. this is something the united states has indicated it would like to bring up. china said it does not want to do that in this forum. it would not be an appropriate time to do so. >> immediately preceding the summit was another summit. no u.s. president had ever been to that. barack obama arrived there. is china upset that america is trying to muscle in on its territory? >> and the signs are clear that the united states is really trying to make more of its presence felt in this part of the world.

it is being seen as an attempt by the u.s. to counter the growing influence of china in asia. china has been talk on the list in terms of into regional trade. this is one of the fastest- growing regions in the world. if you look at the guest list of some of the leaders who are coming, india, china, indonesia, russia. the united states is feeling this is where the action will be for the next couple of decades. this is where it wants its foreign policy to be as well. >> thank you very much. 30 years after she drowned in mysterious circumstances, police in california have reopened the investigation into the death of a hollywood actress natalie wood. l pretty ♪
